Atwood remains very relevant as a writer. This woman is amazing. Wonderful dystopian society that still feels very applicable. Her primary characters are well-fitted for her plot and the premise is well executed. Her writing continues to push the boundaries of what is to be expected, delightfully so.

Great story that reminded me of pieces of several other very good books that I've read along the way, but still manages to hold its own. A few small issues in the plot (one seemingly unnecessary plot piece and one that was handled a bit awkwardly) that kept me from giving it a full five stars, but still a very good read. This one kept me up until 2am just so I could finish it. Cover to cover in one sitting. Obviously it did quite well at holding my attention. I look forward to reading his future works.

I read this one with my 5 year old niece. She seemed to really enjoy it. Some of the language was a bit beyond her comprehension level, but the premise of the story was good and entertaining for her.

I've loved Tyler's take on life for a long time as a fan of his YouTube channel and this book is nothing but true to form for him. He is bold and unabashed in his writing and always, always true to himself. I highly respect that. He is incredibly smart about the realism of life and his advice applies to all, regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation. In addition to all hat greatness, he is also hysterically funny. There were several instances of out loud laughter as I made my way through this book. Well done yet again, sir. Well done.

I'm not typically a large fan of plays, but this is written quite excellently. It reads as easily as a novel and had my attention. There are many smart references to literature, history, and the arts. This will easily be one I read again...definitely a novelty for me when it comes to plays.

Technically, I'll give this one 3.5. However, I will say that it is masterfully written and I am likely to enjoy it increasingly with rereads. There is a lot of subtlety in this text. No doubt, the more I catch, the higher I will rate it.

Overall a good business novel, but the ending fell a bit flat.
